Hi everyone!
Happy Valentine’s day (from this last week)! I hope everyone is doing well!
This week has been a good week.
The first thing I want to tell you about is about some Social Media
training that we were able to use. We
were trained on how to do social media referrals with the members. So, before we started to meet with all of
them, we wanted to demo it with Eric (our Ward Mission Leader in the YSA ward)
and Alina. We say a prayer with them and
then have them pull up their friends list on social media. Then we have them listen to the spirit and
pick a friend that stands out to them.
Then right then and there we have them send a Mormon message and a
personal message to them. So cool! The spirit was so strong, and Eric and Alina
got fired up with it. I literally love
serving in a YSA ward so stinking much as a missionary! :)
I went on exchanges this week with Sister Spackman. She actually looked at my blog when she got
her call! :) Go Mom and Dad for keeping the blog
updated. She’s been out about 4 months
and we worked in her area in Ponderosa.
She had two lessons set up, but they both fell through. :( So we did a lot of finding today. We saw a really cool miracle. It was raining hard all day and was pretty
cold. We were completely soaked and
pretty done with the day. The last ten
minutes of the night we decided to knock on one more door. Total miracle! We met R__ and T___, who let us right
in! R___ is family ward age and T___ is
YSA age so found investigators for both of us set of sisters! They’re roommates, and really open. We invited them to a Relief Society activity
and a church tour and they said they would be there tomorrow! :)
The next morning, we were still working in Sister Spackman’s
area, and I got to meet some of their investigators. We went to meet one named V___, and it turns
out that I had totally taught her before!
Back when I was covering the Foothills Ward in a trio with Sister Lott
and Sister Olsen. When she opened the
door, I was like “V___!” I think that
totally surprised Sister Spackman. V__
remember me, and gave me a pair of knitted slippers. :)
We had another awesome miracle this week. Our ward mission leader asked us to set up an
appointment with a less active guy named J___.
Since we are both new to the area, we had no idea who J___ was, so we
contacted the only one in our phone.
Turns out it was the wrong J___.
But this J___ that we contacted set up an appointment and met with
us! Turns out he was baptized at age 16,
but when all of his Mormon friends moved to BYU, he stopped going to
church. Anyways, it was a super powerful
lesson! We watched Finding Faith in
Christ and paused it now and then to talk about the video. McKay and Jewel were both there and they were
awesome fellowship to have with us! YSA
is the best! J___ committed to come to
church on Sunday!
I’m really enjoying this area, and I’m finally starting to
feel like I’m getting the hang of the two wards here. I’m enjoying working with Sister Blauer. She will be going home this next week though,
and I will miss her. I will find out who
my next (and last) companion will be on Sunday.
I’ll keep you posted!
Love you all!
